A man from Oakland has been arrested in connection with a shooting that injured a woman last week, according to the Oakland Police Department.
The incident has raised concerns in the area as authorities continue their investigation to understand what led to the violence.
The shooting took place on Friday afternoon. Around 3:45 p.m., Oakland police officers were flagged down by someone in the 7900 block of International Boulevard.
When officers reached the location, they found a woman who had been shot. Police immediately called for medical help, and the woman was taken to a nearby hospital. She is currently in stable condition, which means her injuries are not life-threatening, but she is still under medical care.
Police later confirmed that the actual shooting happened in a different location — the 1400 block of 80th Avenue.
It’s not yet clear how the woman ended up on International Boulevard after being shot. Investigators believe she might have moved or been helped by someone before the police arrived.
Officers later arrested a man in connection with the shooting. The suspect is from Oakland, but police have not shared his name or any personal details yet. It is also not clear what his relationship to the woman was, or what may have caused the shooting.
As of now, the motive behind the shooting is still unknown. Police are speaking to witnesses, checking security camera footage from the area, and asking for more information from the public.
Authorities are urging anyone who saw what happened or has any details to help with the investigation. They can call the Oakland Police Department at 510-238-3426. All information will be kept private, and people can choose to stay anonymous if they don’t want to reveal their identity.
This incident has once again brought attention to the issue of gun violence in Oakland. Residents are concerned, especially since the shooting happened in broad daylight in a busy neighborhood.
The police have increased their presence in the area and promised to stay alert to avoid any further violence. Community members are also being encouraged to look out for each other and report any suspicious activity immediately.
Shootings like this continue to highlight the importance of strong community-police cooperation. When people share what they know, it helps the police solve cases faster and prevent future violence.
As more updates come in, the Oakland Police Department is expected to release further details about the arrest and the progress of the case.
